When safety and performance matter most on your trailer, the wheels stand out as one of the most important parts. No matter if you pull a boat down to the water, carry a vehicle, or move heavy gear around a farm, deciding between steel and aluminum trailer wheels makes a real difference in how the towing job goes.

En Remolque, we know a trailer performs only as well as its base components allow. With more than 15 years focused on trailer wheels and tires, we aim to guide you clearly through the steel-versus-aluminum question so you end up with the right choice for your work.

Understanding Steel Trailer Wheels: The Workhorse of the Industry

Steel wheels remain the go-to option across the trailer world because they combine serious strength with reasonable prices. As a direct manufacturer, Go Trailer builds tough steel wheels meant to take the punishment that comes with serious hauling tasks.

Durability and Heavy-Duty Performance

Steel stands up to high stress very well. When something hits hard, steel usually bends instead of breaking suddenly, which often makes it a safer pick on rough ground or at job sites full of obstacles. On top of that, Go Trailer applies different protective finishes—black paint, electrophoresis, or galvanizing—so the wheels hold up longer against weather and road conditions.

Go Trailer’s Steel Wheel Specifications

We carry a wide selection of steel wheel sizes and types, so most trailer setups find a close match. Each rim receives careful design work to deliver strong load support and steady handling.

• 14x6J Steel Trailer Wheel Rim: Rated for 850KG load, with PCD 5×3 and ET 15. Most of these come in a solid black painted finish that lasts.
• 14-Inch Galvanized Steel Wheel: Built specially to fight corrosion, featuring PCD 6×7 and load ratings suitable for use around salt water or wet areas.
• Rivet Steel Wheels: Offered in 14-inch and 15-inch sizes with painted surfaces. They keep a traditional appearance while still carrying modern load demands.

Exploring Aluminum Trailer Wheels: Aesthetics Meets Efficiency

Aluminum alloy wheels attract owners who want better looks along with practical gains. At Go Trailer, our aluminum wheels go beyond appearance; they bring measurable benefits in daily use.

Weight Reduction and Corrosion Resistance

Aluminum weighs much less than steel, so trailers often tow more easily and use less fuel over long distances. The material also resists rust on its own, which proves especially useful for boat trailers that regularly face salt spray or damp storage.

Go Trailer’s Aluminum Alloy Wheel Specifications

Our aluminum range balances everyday function with attractive designs, offering various spoke patterns and generous payload ratings.

• 14/16 Inch Multiple Spoke Design: This high-end alloy reaches a 1000KG payload rating. It uses a 4-hole bolt pattern and 100mm PCD.
• 15-Inch Aluminum Trailer Wheel: Comes with different offsets—ET 15 or ET 0—so it fits trailers that sit wider apart.
• Painted Aluminum Wheels: We supply 15-inch painted models that let owners match the trailer’s overall color scheme.
